Abstract

In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic lens comprises an optic having an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and an optical axis, at least one of the anterior surface and the posterior surface includes a first zone extending from the optical axis to a first radial boundary; and a second zone extending from the first radial boundary to the edge of the optic. The first zone includes an inner region and an outer region having a first curvature and a phase shift feature separating the inner region and the outer region. The phase shift feature includes a ridge of increased thickness relative to an adjacent portion of the inner region. The ridge includes a ridge surface, a first phase shift step extending outwardly from the inner region to the ridge surface, and a second phase shift step extending inwardly from the ridge surface to the outer region.
